Home Buyer Report Oxshott
Thinking about purchasing property in Oxshott? If your property doesn’t have a damp and timber guarantee, you could be exposing yourself to financial risk. Remember that not all damp and timber issues are obvious, and some might not be revealed until long after the sale is finalised. To protect yourself and your investment, secure a damp and timber guarantee from the experts at Tapco Homedry. Our independent surveyors will uncover any potential issues with your home before you commit to a sale.
When do I need a home buyer report?
It’s always a good idea to secure some level of home buyer report, as this will give you reassurance that you know what you are buying. Lenders might want to see a home buyers survey before making a decision on the valuation and how much you can borrow. And sellers could also secure a survey in order to facilitate a quick sale and to provide reassurance that everything has been disclosed.
The standard home buyer report is the Level 2 Home Buyer Survey. This would be recommended for modern properties that are in generally good condition. The issue with this level of reporting is that it assumes there are no damp or timber issues, which can be risky. The signs of damp and timber damage are not always visible or obvious, which can leave buyers open to risk if they take a chance. With our help, you can get a complete picture of the condition of the property before you move forward.
Importance of the home buyer report in Oxshott
Homes in the UK are at increased risk of damp and timber damage due to the climate and weather conditions. Homes are commonly protected against potential damage using methods like damp proof courses, but these can fail over time. When they fail, the signs aren’t always obvious until the damage has spread. So if you are purchasing a property, it’s vital to understand the potential threat of damp and timber damage and how much it could cost to put this right.
Our independent surveyors are trained to the exacting standards of the Property Care Association (PCA). They can help to bring peace of mind to the property purchasing process by ensuring you have all of the information you need to make an informed decision. And for a single premium payment, your survey can be guaranteed with our Guarantee Protection Insurance.
What’s included with a home buyer report?
Our surveyors will visit the property and go beyond the standard home buyer survey. They are specifically looking for the signs of damp and timber damage, and this could include looking under carpets or lifting floorboards. They might also inspect basements, cellars and crawl spaces. They are looking for the signs of rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation and timber damage such as wet rot and dry rot.
This information could help you to secure a better price for the property, reflecting the work required to correct the damp problem. It could also help you to walk away from a bad investment if the damage is too extensive.
